Cherry Blondies

Believe it or not, I am not a chocolate person. I would much rather have a dessert filled with fruit and whipped cream. Give me strawberry short cake or key lime pie and I will skip the brownies every time.

My son is the chocolate person in this house and he constantly begs for me to make him brownies. My hubby and daughter are not big chocolate fans either. So my son gets his share of brownies when I bake them. But sorry buddy, today this dessert is for the rest of the family. Instead of chocolate brownies, I decided to go with blondies instead. I had a bag of cherries which I wanted to use up so I thought they would be the perfect complement to these sweet buttery squares.

The blondes are on the thinner side because I used a nine inch pan. Next time I would use an eight inch pan to make them just a tad thicker. Next time might be tomorrow because half of them are gone already!

You are just like my boyfriend – I’m not sure how anyone doesn’t LOVE chocolate but then looking at these blondies – I could just stick with these, too! Delicious and cherries are on sale this week. We will have to try them 🙂
